tires

just got this truck about 2 months ago. and im going to get new tires. b4 chase season starts for running bear. it has 225/70 on 15 inch wheels. so i have how much bigger are 31 1050s than these tires. does anyone have a picture of there stock truck with 31s and does it rub. i dont want it rubbing because this truck is not a pavement princess

 

If it is a 4wd model most 31x10.50x15 won't rub. I had a set of destination mt's on mine that rubbed at full lock without leveling the truck. I now run Michelin ltx 31x10.50x15 and no issues.

 

yea its 4wd. i was thinking about getting general ats

 

Look at my sig. Stock 15"s with 31s. No rubbing. These trucks can handle about a 32.5" tire stock

 

Here's a better pic. I'm running Goodyear Wrangler Authority tires, found exclusively at Walmart. They're very aggressive for an all terrain, but are cheap and dig/clear awesome. There's a guy on here with a review, he's got more miles then me. Another guy I wheel with has them on his jeep and loves them. Says they're the best tire he's ever had

 

What's gonna kill you is seeing as how your a 96 4cyl 5speed, I bet you have 3.58 diff gearing. Going up from 225-31 is a big jump, and your gonna feel it, the trucks gonna be real sluggish

 

is the high the same threw all 1st gen i gotta 95

 

Yeah you should be fine. 31s were a stock option on some first gens

 

my cousin has 31 opn his truck but his are alittle worn down and i was young when he got them. i couldnt remember what they look like. thanks

 

You will see a big difference in performance for sure. I had 95 reg cab 2.7 5 sp. Came with 358 gears. Went larger tire and hated the difference. Stock was 225/75/15. Put some used ones on and see what you think before spending on new. I rode those for a whole damn year!

 

Chances are if truck came with 31's, it was geared to handle the larger tires.(4.10 prob.)

 

His came with 225s. Those tires on a 4cyl 5 speed is probably 3.58 gears. He'd just have to look at his door code

 

Yeah I was actually replying to your post. I know he has 358 gears.

 

Those trucks must be a pig to drive haha

 

Not to get off topic but I'm jealous you can still run bears

 

I prefer to run beers. But that's just me

 

Yeah I like running bears while also running beers. Best when you are passenger holding gps antenna. It's still a culture in some areas in va. And yah, the 358 gears are turds.

 

Been doing it since 2001 but that all ended at the end of 2012 season. Goddamn California

 

That sucks man, and it's in your blood now!

 

Yep. Last season was rough with the withdrawls
